It reads like you were trying to save natx but realized it wasn't going to work and tried to save face.

I'm way better than that as scum. That's my defense. I'm done talking about it. Lynch me if you can't handle me being wrong.

yeah it was pretty bad. that thread has so many conflicting personalities the double plurality should have been their wet dream, but they literally sat back and let themselves get lynched.

they should have controlled things with a strong voice, not try to hide.

I'm not casing because you were wrong. Stop trying to strawman my argument. I'm casing you because it looks like you were trying to save a scum buddy. I honestly wouldn't have been up in arms if it wasn't for that Magnus/natx post.

1) can someone explain the case on Hal? Is it that he hasn't done anything

2) ##vote merk will someone have a conversation about this guy, specifically if you see my narrative of his actions? Merk is clearly going to just wave me off instead of engaging.

There are two viable raid options here.
An aggressive push against their fortress, we can hope to turn the tide of momentum.
Or the Windtrap, where we can beef ourselves up, but potentially make ourselves weaker if we lose, no matter what would follow would be an offensive from them.

The former seems to be the riskier of the two options, but the later is also as risky, with the chance of just making us that much more easy to overrun in the raid after. I guess you can say the difference between the two of them is when the risk plays out, in the case of attacking their fortress the extra front man they get is the risky element, in the case of attacking the windtrap the risk comes in the form of weaker defensive afterwards.

No guts, no glory. Let's take out his fortress. You being able to instantly kill someone in their thread seems like it will level the playing field.

I'm a force multiplier, whom works best with our laser rifle guy (whoever that happens to be).

Oh. That could be another explanation for why so many people died in the last fight- there could have been a laser + shield incident.

A laser would probably be a range weapon, laser explosions are suppose to kill both the target and the shooter.

Don't think it is possible.

quote:

Spice Field Delta - Deep Desert
“He who controls the spice, controls the universe” - Baron Vladimir Harkonnen. Of course there are risks too - the Shai-hulud, giant sandworms, feel and are attracted to the agitation and vibration in the sand.
Deep Desert Environment - due to the abundance of sandworms in this zone, shields may not be used, rendering ballistics more effective. (all Ranged attacks gain +2 to damage) a sandworm is always attracted to battles here, and Ranged rank characters each have a 20% chance of being eaten by a sandworm after the healing phase of battle.

like even without 100 yrs contributing we managed to kill their entire front rank, if it wasn't for those sandworms we probably would have been able to beat them in pure dmg.
